What are you hearing - Trades etc (DH to NYK)? Any other reports?

[heyvik]

Is it me or is Celtics' nation asleep today??? I find myself refreshing with no new updates!!!

Chris Brousard(sp?) did mention today, taped yesterday, that DHoward is being discussed for Tyson Chandler and Carmelo Anthony.

Anybody hear anything else?? (legit rumors not made up ones) Hoopshype and Realgm don't have anything....I'm depending on C's Nation to let me know what they've seen out there!

I'm guessing there won't be much in the way of trading until this Friday at the earliest. Just a guess.

Why is that? is it due to posturing by the GM's?

I think you might see some minor deals towards the end of this week.

The blockbuster stuff: I don't think GMs want to tip their hands too early, and allow competitors time to make countermoves. That, and sellers probably want to get the very most they can for their better players, and will want to shop them around as long as they can.

Again, just guesses on my part. Trade deadline day is always a whirlwind.

Man I hope this trade deadline goes better than the last one.

Here's to hoping that no one gets hurt. That stinks when a player gets injured around this time (before trade deadline) and causes a team to change direction.

win a few games and all the rumors are gone.
one bad game and the rumors will come back.

quiet out there...

  Was that going through your mind when Ray went down near the end of the game?

Wait until tomorrow, especially once ORL starts to make a final push to acquire a piece or two to try and persuande DH to stay.

I have a feeling that tomorrow will be pandemonium, but just not for us.

Then again - I could be wrong, and feb 2011 happens again, lol....

I think that every gm is waiting for howard's move one way or the other then some rapid fire trades will go down.  If you have a chance to get Howard you aren't bothering if a lower caliber center.

It was through mine.

What's even worse is not making a trade figuring you have the position covered (like could possibly happen this year to us) or trading someone because you thought that you had the position covered (Perk gone, although I still think it was the right trade at the time, Shaq then MIA).

[LarBrd33]

not hearing anything particular, but I'd put money on Dwight going to LA or New Jersey by the end of Thursday.  Orlando would be morons not to get something right now.

Nothing else will happen until Dwight moves, though.

I hope it goes just like the last one

"@WojYahooNBA: Milwaukee and G-State are near deal to send Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson for Monta Ellis, Ekpe Udoh and Kwame Brown, sources tell Y!"

Good deal for the bucks imo bogut is never healthy, udoh started to look like a good player this year.
